At the beginning of the 2023 Colorado legislative session, freshman Republican Rep. Ken DeGraaf of Colorado Springs took to the House Floor to introduce his brand of right-wing nuttery to the rest of the state. DeGraaf punctuated his remarks with an oft-used quote that he clearly never bothered to internalize himself. “What we have learned […]
The Washington Post reports: Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was sentenced to 18 years in prison Thursday in the first punishments to be handed down for seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. U.S. prosecutors asked for up to 25 years in prison and the longest sentence by far in the […]
Regular readers of Colorado Pols are well aware that the Colorado Republican Party has been caught in a downward spiral for many years now. Despite getting absolutely hammered in the last three election cycles, Republicans haven’t yet hit rock bottom… But they’re pretty damn close. As The Colorado Sun reports today in its “Unaffiliated” newsletter, […]
Colorado Republicans apparently still think that it might be a good idea to get 2022 Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea to run for federal office again in 2024. That’s the very same Joe O’Dea who lost the 2022 U.S. Senate race to incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet by 15 points. POLITICO reports (again) about a potential […]

Near the end of this week’s episode of the Get More Smarter Podcast, hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii spent a few minutes discussing the absurdity of Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis waging an all-out political war on The Walt Disney Company because it disagreed with his “Don’t Say Gay” law. DeSantis is betting that […]
With the 2023 Colorado legislative session now in the books, it’s time for us to hand out some grades. As always, we focus more on the politics than the policy here at Colorado Pols (for a more policy-centric “Winners and Losers” list, check out ProgressNow Colorado or Axios Denver). WINNERS Colorado Families (For […]
The end of every legislative session in Colorado is accompanied by a familiar narrative no matter which political party is in charge at the State Capitol: Did lawmakers do enough in their 120-day session? This year is no different. As The Colorado Sun reported in its “Unaffiliated” newsletter on Friday: As the 2023 legislative session […]
As the 2023 legislative session winds to a close (Monday is Sine Die), lawmakers from both political parties are starting to think about priorities for 2024. Among the issues that have come up for discussion lately is the idea of another round of legislation dealing with one of the all-time bullshit arguments in Colorado: Construction […]
UPDATE: Local Proud Boys self-appointed spokesman Louie Huey responds defiantly: We figure it will at least muffle them. Federal prison tends to do that. —– As The Washington Post reports, former President Trump’s sort-of private army failed to convince a jury that the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection was just their patriotic duty: Former Proud Boys […]
